Dear all,

This is probably not directly relevant to the vast majority of people 
here, but I just thought I'd share what I've been using pov for. Even if 
it isn't directly relevant to you, you can see some pretty-ish pictures :)

My work involves integrated circuit design. You can get some pretty 
impressive pictures when you print an entire chip design, but I thought 
it'd be even better to be able to make 3D pictures.

So, I've written a program to convert the chip layout data from the 
standard gds2 format to a (usually large!) pov scene file.

You probably understand why it isn't directly relevant to most people 
here - only a small number of people will be able to generate the 
necessary data.

Anyway, if anybody does want it, or else wants to see some of the 
pictures I've generated, take a look at:

gds2pov is available for Windows, Linux (x86) and Solaris (Sparc).

I hope you like it :)

Cheers,

Roger
